My one and only entry to this madness :)
Happy Birthday!
Sorry to hear about your birthday money, I hope you’ll still get to have nice day in spite of it!
Thanks, I tried so many times but this is one of the best results I could get.
I still like it, but I have to admit it’s not what I originally had in mind.

What did this cat DO?!
Caught stealing a fish in Thailand (I‘m guessing), and then extradited to the US?
They must want him pretty bad.
"The planet Arrakis, known as Dune"
My very first experience with a sound card was watching the Dune 2 intro on my dad's friend's computer. I was so amazed, I just sat in awe as that intro movie played.
On the drive home I tried to remember if what I heard was real, and I just couldn't imagine it. When I tried to recall what I saw and heard, I could only imagine hearing that tinny internal speaker making bleeps and bloops instead of the actual sounds. It just seemed so unreal at the time that I could not recall what I had heard only a few hours earlier :)
On a side note, I don't think any studio in the nineties made as memorable tunes and sounds as Westwood did. There was always something enchanting about them. Dune 2, the Kyrandia games, they all had excellent music that really played into the strengths of what was available back then.
Of course I'm talking with pink tinted nostalgia goggles, but still... good memories :)
Yes, I remember these! Countdown And Tex Murphy: The Martian Memorandum come to mind. I remember being amazed at the sounds suddenly coming out of our internal computer speaker. It even had something close to speech!
The manual also came with some info on making the sound even better using some alligator clips, but that went waaaay over my little head at the time :)
Here you go :)
Thank you so much for that suggestion!
It was right there in the manual, I really am an idiot sometimes. The beeping is softer now. It's still super shrill and repeating, but at least it doesn't give me an heart attack :)
I can't disable it entirely, there's too much washing going on to just ignore it completely. But this definitely helps!
We have a German brand washing machine that makes an ear piercing beep when the wash is done and repeats doing this every minute for 15 minutes straight. It is the most annoying and attention-seeking appliance in the house.
When it was time to replace the dryer, we intentionally got an Asian model with a lovely little tune that'll play exactly once. I'll never get tired of hearing that tune, because that god awful washing machine will always remind me of the alternative.
Good luck Player One.

I kind of like the low-poly cloth waving behind him, like it's a futuristic material or distortion.

Secretarybird: refuses to schedule my meetings
They: "Hey, can you move your bag? I'd like to sit there."
Passenger: "Sure, no problem"
Or, in my case..
They: Stand still and give the smallest glance in my direction
Me: Put my bag on my lap in record time, glance up, smile awkwardly :)
Seriously, I'm guilty as hell of putting my bag next to me in the train. Mainly because I'm not putting it on the floor together with who knows what kind dirt is lying down there. And It's awkward to keep it on my lap if it's not necessary. Of course it's different when it's a busy train.
Aaahhh!! Lactose! My only weakness!
